Talk:Hinduism in the Middle East/Archive 1

Untitled
This article should really be expanded to something like "Hinduism in the Middle East".

Disputed
The numbers don't add up at the very least. For example, it says there are 4,000 Hindus in Kuwait, or 2% of the population. The population of Kuwait is more than 2 million. Also a US government report that I read recently claims that there are about 100,000 Hindus, a more credible figure, given that there are about 300,000 Indian citizens in Kuwait. The numbers for Oman seem unreasonably large.

 * I've dumped the figures from Hinduism by country here instead, but those numbers are also problematic. It's no more than a stopgap measure. I'm also moving this from Hindus in Middle East Countries to Hinduism in Arab states. QuartierLatin1968 03:30, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Numbers are Unsubstantiated by the Cite:

For the breakdown of numbers by individual state, the article cited contains no data on religion, it simply lists estimated numbers of people of Indian background/origin living in each state. Either that piece of the article should be removed, or a correct citation should be provided to support the numbers. It seems more reasonable that higher populations of Muslims would make up the Indian diaspora in Muslim countries. While there are certainly large communities of Hindus in the countries listed, they are, most likely, not as large as the author is suggesting. Looks like the author picked numbers randomly. --Khalil78 (talk) 17:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Misleading
Including Iran and Afghanistan in a list of Hinduism in the Middle East is fair enough (as this article does), but this article is about "Arab states", which neither of those countries are. I'll be WP:BOLD and remove them. BigHaz 05:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

UAE
I heard there's a lot in the UAE.--D-Boy 19:24, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
